Lynne Edwards (Editor) and Katy Stevens (Associate Editor) of Watcher Junior, invite your submissions for the first issue of WJ, a refereed, electronic journal for undergraduate student scholarship in Buffy Studies. WJ is located at Slayage: The Online International Journal of Buffy Studies (http://www.slayage.tv).

Completed essays and research papers will be reviewed by members of the board and will be accepted for publication if three reviewers approve. Essays that do not receive approval for publication will be returned with feedback for re-submission.

As an electronic journal, WJ accepts submissions year round, with issues publshed as scheduled intervals. To be considered for the first issue, please have your submission sent before the end of April 2005.

We welcome completed essays and research papers on any aspect of BtVS, Angel, or both programs. All papers should exhibit familiarity with previously published scholarship in Buffy Studies. The editors accept essays with a variety of recognized documentation styles (APA, MLA, or Chicago); however, all submissions should include a list of Works Cited.

Submit your work electronically as an e-mail attachment in Microsoft Word (.doc) or in Rich Text Format (.rtf). Be sure to number your paragraphs in the text you submit. Send it simultaneously to Lynne Edwards at edwards[at]slayage.tv and Katy Stevens at stevens[at]slayage.tv.
